What is happening

BooksI have a few books and another is on the way for 2012. Firstly, I have to plug the first in the Syngress Series of books on IT Audit. This is a comprehensive compliance hand governance handbook with EVERYTHING (from the high level to the hands on for the expert) to get you started in IT compliance and systems security. The main book is "IT REGULATORY AND STANDARDS COMPLIANCE HANDBOOK". This is the first in a series I have planned and more will follow in time. There will be electronic updates to this book over time to maintain it to a current level over time.

I will be working on co-authoring a book on CIP (Critical Infrastructure Protection) - but more on this later.

On top of this I recycle computers. To do this I take 1.5 to 2 year old corporate lease computers and refurbish them so that they can run the most current programs.

The question is - what do you do to help?

If you do not have the time, have you though about a donation?

This blog has been monetarised. This is where the money goes. By clicking and purchasing on this site, you help Burnside and Hackers for Charity. All monies earned here are split 50/50 between these two charities.

Not much to say at the moment. We have had 640mm of rain (40% of what we normally get in a year) in the last 2 days. We had over 500 mm in 2 hours. Basically, more rain than I have ever seen anywhere in Australia and definitely nothing like we have seen at the farm in the decade here (and not like anything in the recorded history of the farm).

I will post photos later in the week.

As an example, we have a bridge out (which we need to rebuild). Not your average household expense, but we own the road and have to maintain it.

One of our neighbours has no power (we do). I know this as his power pole in sitting in one of our fields having washed away 2 days ago.

Today is the first day I have been able to go and check the damage. In the last couple days the volume of rain has precluded checking. One of the creeks (usually 30-50cm deep was up to 3.5 metres deep.
